The scoring system utilized by CBS Sports rates every FBS institution in three sports – football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball – along with two “wild card” programs among the school’s most successful spectator sports including baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer, gymnastics, lacrosse, hockey and wrestling. The weighted formula puts 2.5 times as much emphasis on football compared to women's basketball and the "wild cards" while men's basketball is worth twice as many points.
